I admit my bias towards Taylor and I appreciate that others see players differently. That’s what makes this all fun

he got skinned for fun against dortmund as was directly involved in capitulating and leading to one of their goals in the second half - Taylor equally had first half mare alongside crazy legs crane.

as I said, he will probably do well in a different league and a different style of play, but I personally don’t think he’s the player that others think he is.

good luck to the boy, but a daft loan signing with no buy option.

the club has had at least the last two years to find a proper upgrade on Taylor and have failed spectacularly on that front.

 

I don't get people saying he was worse than Taylor defensively. He was far better winning headers and didn't get caught up the park constantly.

Latter part is mainly due to how Taylor is being played but he doesn't have the pace to get back in position when we do get caught out. McGregor doesn't either so we're constantly left short when countered.

 

you say that regarding Tierney but in the last 4 years just league games he’s played the following

20/21 27 games
21/22 22 games
22/23 27 games
23/24 20 games
Total:96 in 4 seasons

He’s averaging 24 league games a season the last 4 seasons that’s still a good few games so this massive injuries is almost not as bad as made out

 

Must be offski if he's not getting on

 

My thoughts exactly

 

Don't get what he brings to team, wouldn't have taken Taylor off tbh.

 

Being a moody killjoy here, I didn't think he was good when he came on. Passing was sloppy.

 

He didn’t have any impact at all really, get the thinking behind the sub but he didn’t get going at all. Hopefully get KT in the door this month.

 

Just not cutting it, position needs addressing now

 

I still like him. If we're actively negotiating to end his loan while trying to bring in his replacement I don't blame him for his head not being 100% there. I did think Taylor had one of his better games in Europe though.

 

He has a lot of very good qualities, but I fear there’s just something missing. It could be that he’s not fully settled, head is elsewhere or even the language barrier but he just looks a bit off it. For a La Masia graduate, he’s very slack in possession at times.

 

I agree, he was poor when he came on.

 

Sloppy is being incredibly generous.

Get the Tierney deal done and get him to Como

 

No for me..

 

Was trying not to be too harsh lol but I was crying out for Tierney at left back tonight.

 

Has been criminally-underused, IMO.

 

Aye he's gonna be a massive upgrade on both current left backs.
